Meet Dr. Jake Beckstrand

Hello! I am Dr. Jake Beckstrand, and I grew up in the modest town of Moorpark California. Some of my favorite childhood memories are trips to the beach and Disneyland. I’ve always been a big Lakers and Dodgers fan—but I’m starting to warm up to the Suns and Diamondbacks!

When I was 13, my family moved to Saint George, Utah, where I spent the remainder of my youth. In 2011, I had the amazing opportunity to live in Japan for several years. I fell in love with the culture, the food, and the incredible people I met during my time there. Shortly after returning to the U.S., I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Biology at Dixie State University and married my amazing wife, Jazmine, in 2016.

We moved to Salt Lake City so I could attend the University of Utah School of Dentistry, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2020. From there, we headed to Wisconsin so I could pursue my dream of becoming an orthodontist. I completed my Orthodontic Residency at Marquette University and received my Master of Science degree in 2022.

Jazmine and I now have three wonderful boys—Jordan, Grayson, and Liam—who keep us on our toes! When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me playing the piano, singing, shooting hoops, hiking, or just enjoying time with my family.

I’m passionate about helping people achieve confident, healthy smiles, and I feel so lucky to do what I love every day. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your smile journey!

Thank You, Dr. Ethan Larson and Dr. Luke Cain

Our office has been blessed with the leadership, skill, and dedication of outstanding orthodontists over the years. We would like to sincerely thank Dr. Luke Cain and Dr. Ethan Larson for the incredible care, compassion, and community spirit they poured into this practice. Their commitment to excellence has shaped the culture of our office and created a tradition of trust that patients and families have come to rely on.

As we move forward, our promise is to carry on that legacy — providing the same personalized care, professional expertise, and welcoming environment that Dr. Cain and Dr. Larson so faithfully established. Patients can feel confident that the high-quality orthodontic experience they expect will continue for many years to come.

Dr. Beckstrand and his team are all very kind and inviting. The whole treatment experience thus far has been wonderful, Dr. Listens to my concerns and addresses them with patience. I’m always greeted with a friendly smile, and the assistants are all knowledgeable and gentle. I have recommended this place to everyone I know who is seeking orthodontic treatment.

Excellent staff, excellent orthodontist, excellent atmosphere. I highly recommend this establishment; I simply could not imagine going anywhere else. I cannot express how convenient setting up emergency appointments were and the early hours make getting my child to school on time after appointments super easy!

Sabrina Macready

I love the team the environment. My appts are a far drive but, it’s made worth it because of how fast and friendly they are, I feel very welcomed here. My teeth are also poster worthy! And I’ve only had my braces for 6 months. Definitely recommend.
